“GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.311 million) beat both “The Talk” (1.223 million) and “NBC News Daily” (1.115 million) among Total Viewers, but the ABC News program ranked last in both unrounded Women 18-49 (0.13 rating) and unrounded Women 25-54 (0.22 rating), marking severe erosion in the former category in particular compared to its comparable performance during the year ago week (0.13 rating vs. 0.21).
